About ACMOX 250MG TABLET

ACMOX 250MG TABLET belongs to a group of anti-bacterial or antibiotics known as penicillin. ACMOX 250MG TABLET is used to prevent and treat different types of bacterial infections like chest infections (pneumonia, bronchitis), ear/nose/throat (ENT) infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, leg ulcers, gum ulcers, and dental infections, and pressure sores. Besides this, it is also used with various antibiotics like clarithromycin to treat stomach ulcers caused by H. Pyroli bacteria.

ACMOX 250MG TABLET has a similar method of killing bacteria as penicillin. ACMOX 250MG TABLET kills the bacterial cell by blocking the chemical (mucopeptides) released by the bacteria's outer layer (cell wall). In turn, ACMOX 250MG TABLET weakens and destroys the bacterial cell wall. It is a broad range of antibiotics that helps in fighting various types of bacteria. 

ACMOX 250MG TABLET is available in oral tablets, capsules and syrup dosage forms. You should take the syrup form of ACMOX 250MG TABLET as your doctor advises. The tablet or capsule form of ACMOX 250MG TABLET should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Most bacterial infections get treated within one week, while some conditions might take longer. So, it would be best if you tried to complete the prescribed dosage. During the treatment with ACMOX 250MG TABLET, you may observe some common side effects like feeling sick (nausea) and diarrhoea. But these side effects are usually in the initial phase and then resolve after some time. However, if these side effects persist, let your doctor know. Prolonged intake of the liquid form of ACMOX 250MG TABLET may cause temporary staining of teeth (especially in children) that can be removed by brushing.

To treat your condition effectually, continue using ACMOX 250MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not use ACMOX 250MG TABLET without doctor's advice if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any medicine. Do not use ACMOX 250MG TABLET in more than prescribed doses or longer duration as it may cause adverse effects. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take before taking ACMOX 250MG TABLET to rule out any side effects. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop the medication as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, a condition in which bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.
